Big
Pharma's "quackbuster," operation went into
overdrive a few months ago trying to find a story, any story, to take the heat
off Merck's mass murder of over 55,000 Americans with their deadly "Vioxx"
product. Merck had been caught spending over 500 million dollars to mass
market Vioxx after they were well aware, and took steps to cover up, Vioxx's
deadly characteristics.

As yet, no
arrests have been made of the Merck executives involved - or of the US Food &
Drug (FDA) agents involved in the cover-up.

Now, we know,
that the Vioxx number is closer to 139,000. And, still no arrests.

The "quackbusters"
we know, are Big Pharma's "black-ops," a program designed, and operated,
to damage, and discredit, in any way possible, anything that competes with the
drugs drugs, and more drugs version of health care. It is currently run
out of a New York ad agency.

The story the
New York ad agency came up with was PATHETIC. They attacked South Carolina
MD Jim Shortt, falsely claiming that he had, somehow (not well explained),
killed a patient using an intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy.

The attack on
Shortt was so poorly thought out, it was almost as though it had been designed
by failed MD Stephen Barrett, the author of the website called
"quackwatch.com.""Quackwatch" we know is the "quackbuster's"
bible, itself designed to misdirect readers, and misrepresent health
alternatives to drugs, drugs, and more drugs.

Big Pharma's
plan, in the Shortt case, started out relatively well, but soon fell on hard
times. As usual, the "quackbusters"
sought to pick on someone who, they thought, couldn't defend themselves - like
Jim Shortt MD. Shortt, a solo practitioner in the South Carolina
economy, would have had overwhelming problems dealing with the assault against
him if he hadn't had three things going for him, all of which are turning the
tide: (1) A VERY good patient support system. (2)
Instant support and assistance from his peers (ICIM & IOMA) (3) Humungous
support from one of his patient's husband - a State Senator and partner in one
of South Carolina's largest law firms.

Things don't
look all that good for this quackbuster assault...

About the
Media Assault...

One of the usual
tricks the "quackbusters"
use is to create "bad media," for their target The New York
ad agency specializes in this. They did this in the Shortt case - but we
just might have been able to counter their efforts this time. We'll find
out, tonight, just how well we were able to do this.

In South
Carolina, the "quackbusters"
had an "inside man," in the local newspaper. Cliff LeBlanc, a
writer for "The State" newspaper has a unusual fondness for
quackbuster attorney Richard Gergel. Gergel is listed as a legal advisor
to "quackwatch.com." A few years ago, in one of the strangest
articles I've ever heard of, LeBlanc praised Gergel so outlandishly, locals had
to wonder...

LeBlanc, in his
first articles about Jim Shortt, was so blatantly prejudiced, and wild-eyed,
against alternatives, I wondered if his articles were actually written by
the New York ad agency, itself. Based, on Leblanc's sensationalism, the
New York times picked up the story, then CBS's "60 Minutes" called. Then
the Associated Press.

And off we
were..

You can laugh
off the bigoted and shoddy reporting of the "Cliff LeBlancs" of the
world, and their backwater newspapers - but you better take the New York Times,
"60 Minutes," and the Associated Press completely seriously.

Tonight, at 8:00
PM on CBS, we'll see how well we did to counter the "quackbuster's"
construction. The "60 Minutes" Producer called me this morning -
and said "tonight's the night.". Let's see what happens.

Stay tuned...
